Abstract
An integrated power generating plant includes a fuel cell for generating electrical energy directly, an auxiliary power generating plant that utilizes both the sensible heat and the heating value of effluents from the fuel cell by using working fluids in a closed cycle. The working fluid is vaporized by sensible heat and is superheated by combusting incompletely reacted fuels from the fuel cell.
